That reminds me, there's a few coaches at my school that are Caucasian/white and one of them calls my friend 'John' instead of 'Juan'. Or 'Vincent' other than 'Vicente'. That happens a lot.

Then this exist in your country aswell?
I think the Spanish names are spelled very easy. My right name is Salvador.
Here in Germany most Spanish names aren´t changed, but Salvador is a very rare name here. Some people thought it would just be the name of a country or even a city.

Yeah but usually with people who can't pronounce the name. Or sometimes they'll give them a nickname instead. Like I had a friend named Xitlatis, and somehow got the nickname Zucchini.

People can't pronounce my middle name unless I say it before. They always pronounce it "Chai-anne" or "Chee-anne" because it's spelled Cheyenne. It's pronounced "Shy-anne" though. And my brother's middle name is Redcloud so people would actually ask us if we were kidding about our names and would make us show them our school IDs.

I don´t have a middle name.
But my mom has a name, which got changed.
Normally she should be called Anna-Rosa, but her German parents wanted that her name sounds German, so they changed her name in Anne-Rose.

This place has gone way off-topic, too... I really don't like having to be the one to point this out.
